I thought about it some more, and I've come to the conclusion that the tour guide thing is what I want to do most. I'm convinced I'd be good at it, and of course I'd get to travel and get paid for it. I've been sending applications to every company that offers Dutch- or English-language tours to Central Europe and/or Siberia I could find on the web so far. It's getting harder to find companies I haven't applied for yet though, an hour of googling may get me one new one, or none. So if you know any good tour companies (yeah yeah I know that's nothing for the bootsnall audience) that might be looking for new tour leaders, please let me know.

So far I got 4 replies. 3 of which were negative :( But let's focus on the bright side. Two Dutch companies, Koning Aap and Shoestring, who work together apparently, have let me know I'll be invited for an interview in january or february.
